I saw this obsencely expensive, spanking new, obscenely classy, vulgarly lansi hotel in Cameron Highlands on the net. I am not even going to provide the link. *pbbbtttbbbttttt, saliva spraying everywhere*
MCB, it costs RM2,000++ for a night stay. RM2,000++! (RM2,300 nett PER NIGHT)
So, just for fun, I email my dear and said, “I WANNA STAY HERE, IN THE JIM THOMPSON SUITE”
Camerons Suite and Jim Thompson Suite (2)
The two signature suites has 2 bedrooms each and shares a common lounge that is complete with comfortable settes and luxurious bathrooms.
I got a reply, that says….”Can……see tomolo got any ahpek sayok, can la.”
So, I thought he typed syok wrongly. But no, my dear said if I can find any old millionaire vegetable farmer (sayor = sayok) who wants me, I can ask Mr. Farmer to take me there. (but the ahpek must be so old, no Tongkat Ali can help him, kinda old)
I hope I find my dream ahpek sayok 1,628 m (more than 5,000 feet) above sea levels, amongst the misty hills and I shan’t be coming back to blog anymore. I will be staying at the Jim Thompson suite (who the heck is Jim?) permanently.
dun tell me it’s the new one by YTL group?
Yeap, YTL property.
good ler, got sayur to eat everyday..no need to buy wor!
Jim Thompson founded the Thai Silk Co. I read about him a few years back in magazines. He disappeared in Cameron Highlands while on hols many years ago and was never found. I suppose the suite was named to honour him. Read more about him here: http://www.jimthompsonhouse.com.
I know which one liao. I’m planning for vacation, so I’ve been searching around. This one comes with spa right?
If you’re serious hor (or just for fun) call up the hotel and ask if there is any special rates for Malaysian. I think they do but I cannot confirm.
*Fanning Lilian to go so I can see pics of the place…*
Lilian, kalau you dapat itu ah pek sayoq, wah… jadi vegetarian seumur hidup pun tak pa, hehe. A free lifetime supply weh! Happy hols.

My wife bough some jim thomson hand bag when we were in Thailand. Now she’s a big fan. They have other stuff too like curtains, cushon covers, shirts etc.
There’s some factory outlet in Bangkok, if you drop by you can get some really good bargain.
